Gene Losses and Variations in Chloroplast Genome of Parasitic Plant Macrosolen and Phylogenetic Relationships within Santalales. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2019 Macrosolen plants are parasitic shrubs, several of which are important medicinal plants, that are used as folk medicine in some provinces of China. However, reports on Macrosolen are limited. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequences of Macrosolen cochinchinensis, Macrosolen tricolor and Macrosolen bibracteolatus are reported.

Genomic comparison of non-photosynthetic plants from the family Balanophoraceae with their photosynthetic relatives [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The plant family Balanophoraceae consists entirely of species that have lost the ability to photosynthesize. Instead, they obtain nutrients by parasitizing other plants.

The first macrofossil record of parasitic plant flowers from an Eocene Baltic amber [PDF]
HeliyonParasitic plants left little trace in the macrofossil record, making their evolutionary history mysterious. Baltic amber and other fossil lagerstätts have provided plenty of angiosperm fossils, there are only three reports of fossil leaves (cf. Schoepfia
